We're all waiting for the Steemit roadmap to be released and, hopefully, that roadmap will contain some improvements in the content discovery area of this platform. Until then, I stick to my routine of publishing each Monday a short recap of my writing activities here. It serves a multitude of purposes, from keeping myself accountable to improving self-discipline and to identify (even in hindsight) writing patterns and trends.
Without further ado, let's go:
Life and Philosophy
- No Pain, No Gain = No Brain - I discovered quite late in life that striving doesn't always mean success. Pain is often not necessary to obtain what you want and I should be mindful about this current of opinion relating pain with being successful.
- 6 Degrees of Integration - World - the last article in a series built on a reverse approach to the famous "6 degrees of integration" theorem.
Travel

I played a bit with my travel memories, writing two short posts about my experience in Asia (namely Thailand and Japan).
- The "Little Clocodile" From Bangkog
- How I Learned The 4 Principles Of The Japanese Tea Ceremony - Cha-No-Yu
Steemit and Crypto
Arguably the most consistent part of my writing last week.
- Proof of Burn, And SBD Alternative?
- Bitcoin, The Sad Mistress of Today's Economy
- 3 Things I'd Like to See in Steemit's Roadmap, 10 Days From Now
- Why There Is No Such Thing As "Draining The Reward Pool"
- Why There Is No Such Thing As "Draining The Reward Pool" - Compassion versus Crab Mentality
- Weather Forecast for 2017: Medium Steem, With Tweets Thunderstorms
- Pay It Forward - Let The Games Of Blogchain Begin!
Running
I restarted my running routine and so far it works great.
30 Days Writing Challenge
Here are the reports for my 30 days writing challenge. Each day I'm writing a report containing links to all the articles in the challenge and other relevant information, like the total number of articles, comments and amount of rewards for the challenge30
tag.
- Reporting Day 7
- Reporting Day 6
- Reporting Day 5
- Reporting Day 4
- Reporting Day 3
- Reporting Day 2
- Reporting Day 1
So it looks like last week ended with a whopping 20 articles, probably the higher number of articles ever written for Steemit by me. Almost a third of it is made by the challenge reports, so it's not really all creative work. Nevertheless, 20 is 20, so that was one really busy week.
I wonder what the current one will put on the table.
Steem on!
